Hi there.I'm new to boating and to restoration work. Ive bought a Fairline as mentioned in the subject body. Shes a bit of a dog but I recon some tlc will work wonders. Engine appears to be sound and the body appears to be in good nic. Ive noticed the fuel gauge/float/ sender unit isn't working. Is there anywhere I can get hold of manuals or find information to help me restore her?

Welcome to the relaxing world of boating!!!You can pick up a fuel sender unit on eBay for I believe around £20.00. It's quite a simple job to see if you are getting a reading from the sender with a meter,if you do, then it's going to be the gauge, I got one again off eBay for my weekender for a tenner.I have my weekender up for sale at the moment as I have bought a Carrera, both models are good craft.

Thanks for the welcome. When I bought the boat I had no idea about the pitfalls of buying boats. so I still have a lot of cash to lay out on surveys and stuff I think. But Im in no hurry so can Take till ext season to get her sorted.

I too thought I had plenty of time and before I knew it I lost almost a whole season of boating. It's amazing once you start working on one job, you seem to find others that need doing and nothing is straight forward on a boat.
